Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really agree that he is a good person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes i agree with your statement how huck thinks that slavery is bad. Your grammer though on the other hand needs to be fixed extremely!!!! haha. Also Huck sticks with Jim for awhile in the book until Jim runs away.
wow this is deep... =]
umm i dont really agree with your dragon comment but i do agree with you how slavery is bad and how Huck needs a better education.
RIYEAH! RIYEAH!!
well i agree that huck is a very jolly and good person.On the other hand it is just really weird how Huck thinks that Jim is just another onme of his toys that he can play wiht and make fun of and play tricks on.I am glad though that huck is actually realizing that Jim isnt just just someone that is different than he is.
I dont get it but yea I agree that Huck does think that slavery is very bad. However i dont think that Huck is a very Jolly and good person. There are many things going on in his life that cause him to not be a "jolly and good person".
Huck is still learning about slavery.
well huck may be a great person but his education is very poor. so that is why he is in a conflict within himself about turning in jim. since he doesnt know what is truely good or bad. therefore he goes through out his anventures as he thinks is the right path. still in his mind set he think what he is doing is wrong in his society but as a friend to jim says he is doing the right thing.
Yeah, I definately agree with you that the last chapter was hilarious when Huck "fought off the dragons"...Huck at first, is fighting with his conscience on whether or not he should turn Jim in and betray him. This fight lasts until chapter 31 where he finally concludes that he's going to hell and is going to help Jim anyways since Jim is his friend.
Huck is a very naive and confused character. He is a character that really doesn't know much about himself in the start and doesn't really know what to do with himself. Throughout the book, Huck learns more about his potentials, about himself, and what the right decisions are for him to make.
Huck is easily persuaded. Him not knowing much about himself sets himself up to believe and do what everyone else says.
He has stolen, lied, and made friends, but over all Huck has developed over the course of the book, but in the end he still is undecided about whether it was the right choice to set Jim free.

I agree with this statement. Indeed Huck did not have respect for black people. Such as playing tricks on huck at the beginning and calling him a 'nigger' and treating him liek an object instead of a human being. I think that the scene where Jim yells at Huck for after Huck was trying to play a joke about how he never got seperated in the fog was a big turning point in Hucks moral character which led him to consider blacks as equal. Also later on in the book also helped Huck with his thought when Huck was complaining of how much he missed his family which led him to believe that blacks have the same feelings as whites, which makes them more equal. I agree that as the book goes on the more and more Huck realizes that blacks are equal

I believe that Huck throughout the story gradually gains respect for Jim and eventually sees him as a father figure. You see his development from when he plays the trick with the hat, objectifying Jim, to the point where he would risk his life to save him. Huck and Jim throughout the story trancend the limitations imposed on them by white society. At the end Huck renounces society and goes west. I feel that Twain's view is implicit in this decision.
i agree. Huck started out hating blacks because of how he was taught when he was growing up. But now Huck is seeing Jim in his own way. Huck is developing a friendship with Jim. Huck is helping Jim go free, but still struggles with mind because of his up-bringing.
I agree with that post and what it say, because he does start to realize that slavery is a bad thing and hes learning what the right thing to do is , but Huck really is a good person deep in side himself. His dragon slaying skills aren't very good though.
i agree with you on the fact that huck learns from his lessons but i do not get the dragon part
Adding on to my comment from yesterday, Huck realizes that he "can't pray a lie" because God will know. So, he ends up tearing up the letter and deciding to rescue Jim from the Phelps since Jim is his friend. Jim has also influenced Huck in this novel by manipulating him and saying how he's his only friend and that he's the best.Therefore, Huck is going to hell because of Jim.
yes, but i think Jim really thinks of Huck as his one and only friend. Before, they were together to accomplish what they needed for themselves. And, by the end it really shows how much Jim and Huck have learned about each other when Huck rips up the paper to save Jim.

i agree that huck tries hard to be a good person. but sometimes he is torn between what he knows is good and what others say is good
Huck is a good person, and by the end he does acknowledge that slavery is bad. He and Jim finally see that they need each other and have become really good friends.

I agree that Huck is a good person. Throughout the whole book he has been wanting to do the right thing whether it went against what society thought. He didn't tell on Jim when the two men came by and he is finally realizing that slavery is wrong. He also knew that it was wrong when the king and the duke were pulling all of their tricks on the people in the towns.
Yes, Huck has learned many things on his adventure with Jim, and he does start to realize throughout the story that black people in their society aren't just slaves. They have emotions, feelings, and some big storys that can effect people. Also Huck did make a great relationship with Jim even after just thinking playing jokes on him would be fun, and turning him in. But they have been through a lot and really created a great relationship.
Yes, in this book, Huck learns a lot of lessons and starts to realize how wrong the white society is. Huck ends up going against the white code and becoming friends with Jim, which was considered wrong at the time. Even though what Huck did is considered a good thing now, at the time Huck thought he was doing the wrong thing and that he was going to go to hell. This shows that Huck never really understands that the white society is wrong.
I wouldn't consider Huck a good, or a bad person. The part where he tries to rat out the king and duke is the only real part where Huck decides to do the best thing for the majority of the community. Then Huck dosent really do anything serious bad either.
Vinny says
Huck does start off not liken black people he see's them as just slaves. He doesnt see Jim as a real person. He see's him as a tool. He plays many cruel jokes on Jim. On the raft somthing changes. He starts seeing Jim as a person. They become friends. Even thought Huck has doubts about turning in Jim he learns to enjoy Jim's Company. They become friends. And he finds it in his heart to help Jim get free.

I disagree with this statement.
Nowhere in the book did it ever say that Huck "hated" blacks. Huck was a citizen of the American south during slavery. Yes, Huck did play many a trick on Jim (with the help and/or influence of Tom Sawyer). However, I do not believe that Huck actually hated blacks, only that he was doing what most of southern society was doing at the time; he was blindly and ignorantly following the crowd.
Also, in the end Huck still did not see slavery as "bad". The beliefs he grew up with kept with him the entire time and through the very last pages. Ever since Huck came upon Jim on the island, he truly thought that he would burn in hell for what he did.
